Have you done it yet??

You know sign up for the BIG event on Sunday May 31, 2026.

We will be celebrating the 225th Anniversary of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction of the USA, Mother Supreme Council of the World on that day. The actual meeting will occur in the hometown of the Scottish Rite, Charleston, South Carolina where on May 31, 1801 at Shepheard’s Tavern at the corner of Broad and Church Streets where the Founding Fathers of the Scottish Rite known as “The Eleven Gentlemen of Charleston” brought us the formal 33 degree system we enjoy today.

Since all of Scottish Rite cannot converge on Charleston, S.C. the Supreme Council will be live streaming the event and we will be among a host of Valley’s watching it and participating at a local level. Illustrious Ed Sexton, 330 and Brother Patrick Hall, 320 have been working diligently with others to bring together this great event. Their theme is…. If we can’t go to Charleston, then let’s bring Charleston here! They have planned a country low boil with all the food and fixin’s of Charleston’s southern charm, there will be music, dress in southern style if you like and even a time for good cigars.

This is a once in a life time event to recognize and celebrate the birth of our beloved Scottish Rite and the degrees and teachings it has brought over the past 225 years. This will be a fun filled time of fellowship with all the brothers and their families. It will only be a success if YOU sign up and join us on May 31 from 10 am to 3 pm. Sign up by going to our website srorlando.com and click on the QR code and register to attend. The cost is $7.50 to cover the food. We will have a BIG screen in the dining room to watch as the Supreme Council opens the time capsule.

AND…. Don’t forget our regular meeting on Friday May 22, with a great meal at 6:30 followed by a tiled meeting at 7:30 where Pine Castle Lodge will present the 16th degree.

Sincerely,

W. Ricky Rick

Personal Representative, Valley of Orlando Scottish Rite
